A rare combination of unprecedented originality and blinding talent, The DrowsyChaperone boldly addresses a great unspoken desire in all of our hearts: to be entertained.

If you've ever sat in a darkened audition hall and thought, "Dear Lord in Heaven, this show is going to be spectacularly fun and I want to be a part of it," this is the show for you! Plan your 16-bar audition piece (verse/chorus), bring your music (we'll provide Marilyn, our incredibly talented pianist to play for you), your dancing shoes (yes, Virginia, there will be a dance audition) and your joie de vivre (that's joy of life, if I remember correctly from my high school french) because this script is so good that even AUDITIONS will be fun!

Please check the links to information about the show...every role is a wonderful character role in this show and we will have a featured ensemble. We will rehearse Monday - Thursday and there may be additional Saturday morning dance rehearsals.

I am also looking for persons interested in working backstage (set crew), hair stylists, make-up artists, spot light operators. If you are interested, please come to auditions.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the Putnam County Playhouse stage or considering participating for the first time at the barn, I hope you'll join us at auditions for THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.
